The Hidden Face (Spanish: La cara oculta) is a 2011 Colombian thriller film directed by Andrés Baiz. A Bollywood remake of the film, titled Murder 3, was made in 2013The Hidden Face is a psychological thriller that displays and
analyzes the basic instincts, feelings of guilt, betrayal and fear that
love can bring. The film opens with Adrian (Quim Gutierrez), a young
orchestra conductor, viewing a video of his girlfriend, Belen (Clara
Lago) telling him she is leaving him. Adrian becomes distraught. While
drinking away his sorrows at a bar, he meets Fabiana (Martina Garcia)
and they have a relationship where Fabiana moves into the house that
Adrian was sharing with Belen. Adrian becomes a suspect in the
disappearance of Belen, however, the investigators can find no evidence
of Adrian's involvement in Belen's disappearance.
It is revealed that the house is owned by a German lady who shows
Belen a secret room built to hide her husband just in case someone came
to look for him because he was a former Nazi SS officer. The room is
self-contained and sealed off from sound.
It is also shown that Belen, jealous of Adrian's relationship with
one of his violinists, decided to pretend she is leaving him. She
creates the video saying she is leaving as she hides in the secret room.
The room has some one way mirrors where she can observe Adrian's
reaction. When she decides he has had enough she looks for the key and
realizes she lost the key and is now trapped in the room with no way to
contact Adrian.
Fabiana finds the key to the secret room, but she doesn't know what
it is used for. Fabiana eventually figures out that Belen is trapped in
the house because Belen is able to communicate through tapping on the
pipes in the secret room. As Fabiana is ready to open the door, she
pauses and decides not to rescue Belen because she might lose Adrian.
Fabiana struggles with her decision, but decides to open the door and
check on Belen because she can't get a response from her. Also, one of
the investigators gave Fabiana pictures of Adrian and the violinist and
she herself feels the pangs of jealously. As Fabiana is checking on
Belen laying in a bed in the secret room, Belen surprises Fabiana and
knocks her out and leaves Fabiana locked in the room. Belen decides to
leave the house. She leaves the key to the secret room on a bed for
Adrian to find and leaves a picture of the two of them taped to the
mirror that acts as the door to the secret room. The final scene shows
Belen sitting on the beach alone and Fabiana trapped inside hoping to be
rescued.
It was also revealed that one of the police investigators, who is
still not convinced of Adrian's innocence in Belen's disappearance, is a
former boyfriend of Fabiana, and he warns Adrian that if anything
should happen to Fabiana he will kill Adrian. At the end of the movie
the audience is thus left to wonder not only if Fabiana will eventually
die in the hidden room, but whether Adrian will also be killed because
of her disappearance.
